>I thought Maven was old-hotness once Gradle stepped in?

Maven adds dependency management which Ant doesn't have. I don't have to check 
jars into the repo, I know when jars changed, and to what versions.

What Gradle adds (that I'm aware of) that Maven doesn't have is Groovy 
programming language build files. I never really saw an advantage of having 
that over XML and bash scripts which I already know. Is there anything in 
Gradle I'm missing out on?

As for WebObjects specifically, the WOLips plugin understands fluffy bunny 
projects and Eclipse maven natures, but there's no code in there for gradle 
natures. Someone would have to write that I think. It's probably not a small 
project.

Subject: Re: [Proposal] Drop Wonder's Ant Build

It’s not a completely different issue is it?

If anyone builds Wonder as part of their CI/CD and is currently using ANT, they 
will need to switch to Maven going forward. While we wish everyone who makes 
changes to Wonder would make pull requests to integrate them but that doesn’t 
always happen. Those teams essentially have a fork of Wonder that they 
periodically merge public changes into and build with ANT.

That said, I can understand why many don’t want to support ANT anymore when 
they don’t even use it. If Maven is the future then people will have to change.

Question… I thought Maven was old-hotness once Gradle stepped in? If we are 
talking about moving on, why isn’t Gradle on the table?

Ant -> Maven -> Gradle
